68: Seven Brilliant Lotus
Li Canglan did not say anything.
Why did Zhang Ganchao have to be so stubborn and refuse to admit defeat?
If their positions were reversed, if he were in Zhang Ganchao's place.
If someone were insulting or slandering Zhang Ganchao.
He would not be able to stand by and watch either.
Ultimately, it was because of him that Zhang Ganchao was injured.
"No, Canglan."
Zhang Ganchao did not care about his own body, but instead worried about Li Canglan.
"A few days ago, your Qi and blood were on par with Xu Yifan's."
"But he has been practicing the Breaking Flame Fist for a long time and has long since reached the Minor Achievement level of proficiency."
"I'm afraid you are no match for him."
His tone was urgent, fearing that Li Canglan would act on impulse and follow in his footsteps.
He believed that if they were on the same foundation.
Xu Yifan would definitely not be a match for Canglan.
A few days ago, if not for Xu Yifan using the Breaking Flame Fist.
Even he himself would have had a chance to defeat Xu Yifan.
Let alone Canglan?
But the bonus that a Martial Skill provides to a Martial Artist is too great.
The almost undodgeable Breaking Flame Fist, even for Canglan, would likely be impossible to block.
Li Canglan smiled and pointed his finger at the ceiling.
"Have you forgotten about this?"
Zhang Ganchao was stunned at first, then quickly realized what he meant.
That's right, Canglan has the guidance of an expert!
With this nearly one week of special training, Canglan must have made significant progress!
"But..."
Zhang Ganchao was still a bit worried.
After all, Xu Yifan's advantage was too great.
Even if Li Canglan had made progress, it was impossible for him to have practiced a Martial Skill to Minor Achievement, right?
Li Canglan patted him on the shoulder,
"Don't worry."
There was still some time before the combat power test.
The two chatted for a while in the hospital room.
About half an hour later, a knock on the door sounded.
Li Canglan looked at the time and said with a smile,
"Finally here, come in."
A middle-aged man wearing a Martial Arts Association uniform walked in from outside.
He looked at Li Canglan respectfully,
"Mr. Li, this is something Elder He entrusted me to bring to you."
"Many thanks."
Li Canglan took the wooden box from the middle-aged man and thanked him.
The middle-aged man knew his place, did not try to make small talk, and left directly.
Li Canglan opened the wooden box, which contained a lotus flower with seven leaves.
Looking at the lotus flower Li Canglan handed to him, Zhang Ganchao couldn't help but ask,
"Canglan, what is this?"
"This is a healing treasure I asked an expert to get for you, the Seven-Radiance Lotus."
Upon hearing the words "Seven-Radiance Lotus," Zhang Ganchao's pupils constricted slightly.
Although he didn't pay attention in class, he had heard the name of the Seven-Radiance Lotus.
While saying it could bring the dead back to life and regrow bones was a bit of an exaggeration.
But for a Martial Artist healing, it was definitely a rare treasure!
Even after healing, it could, to a certain extent, enhance a Martial Artist's healing ability.
With these two effects, the price was also extremely high.
Although he hadn't looked into it, he knew that the price of such a treasure would likely not be less than seven figures!
"No, this is too precious!"
Zhang Ganchao chose to refuse without any hesitation.
Not to mention that he might not necessarily become a Martial Artist, even if he did.
Wanting to repay the favor of such a treasure was not a simple matter!
For Zhang Ganchao's family, who previously had to beg everyone they knew just for a 100,000 yuan surgery fee.
Such a treasure, even if they emptied out their family savings.
They still wouldn't be able to pay it back!
"Stop whining to me here!"
Li Canglan acted roughly and stuffed it directly into Zhang Ganchao's mouth.
"If you can't pay it back, you can work for me like an ox or a horse for the rest of your life!"
Zhang Ganchao was speechless.
His mouth was really blocked, and he couldn't speak.
At this point, Zhang Ganchao was no longer coy.
He swallowed the Seven-Radiance Lotus whole.
As the lotus entered his mouth, a cool sensation began to flow from his lower abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, it flowed through all his limbs and bones.
The coolness was like a nourishing holy object, making him feel every cell in his body.
Seemingly dancing happily.
Time passed second by second, and from the surface of Zhang Ganchao's body, some foul-smelling stains seeped out.
Li Canglan checked the time; the combat power test was about to start.
But Zhang Ganchao hadn't woken up yet.
Li Canglan wasn't in a hurry either.
The combat power test couldn't be completed in a short time.
He definitely had to wait for Zhang Ganchao to wake up before they went over together.
Not long after, Zhang Ganchao finally opened his eyes.
"Hiss... so smelly!"
...
School battle arena.
Ten instructors stood in front of the podium, standing as straight as javelins.
In front of the stage were thousands of youthful, sunny students.
On the podium was the principal of the Ninth Junior Martial Arts Academy: Principal Cai Xu.
During this period, Principal Cai Xu could be described as having his mind in turmoil.
He clearly knew that a Genius in the Body Tempering Realm had emerged from his school.
But he had searched everywhere and couldn't find that person!
After the second Qi and blood test, he even went to visit the home of Zhao Kailiang, who had asked for leave to train.
However, he learned that Zhao Kailiang had merely experienced a surge in Qi and blood.
Information that would normally have been enough to make him happy now made him frown deeply.
Where exactly was that student in the Body Tempering Realm?
"Principal, it's time to give your speech," the teaching secretary next to him reminded him.
Principal Cai Xu nodded and said loudly,
"Today is the day of the school's combat power test!"
Principal Cai Xu held the microphone, his voice spreading throughout the entire arena.
"There is still more than a month until the big exam, and today's test can be considered a check on you all!"
"I presume you have all heard that the City Lord's Mansion is going to organize a special training for honor students as preparation for the big exam."
"Our school also has ten spots for honor students!"
"As long as you don't give up, it's possible for any of you to fight for these ten spots!"
As the principal's voice fell, discussions rose one after another in the arena.
"There are only ten spots, how could we possibly grab one?"
"Ye Zikun, Wu Erfan, Chen Zhicheng, Zhao Kailiang... these ten spots are probably tailor-made for these top students, right?"
"It's already said it's special training for honor students, so us ordinary people shouldn't even think about it."
Seemingly sensing the students' resentment.
Principal Cai Xu said with a chuckle,
"Students, don't be discouraged. In the coming month, our school will also organize special training."
"Of course, the premise for all of this is that you can stand out in this combat power test."
"Otherwise, even if we had fiery eyes that could see through everything, we wouldn't be able to discover your potential."
Hearing this, the students became excited again.
"I don't know how many spots there are for special training, but I feel like I can still fight for a spot in our school's special training."
"Top geniuses like Ye Zikun have already gone to participate in the City Lord's Mansion's special training, so let's leave the school's special training to us."
The students were high-spirited and began to warm up one after another.
Only the homeroom teacher of Class 12, Zhang Xin, did not look too good.
